Learn Fun Facts’ 2017 Year In Review & 1st Year Blogiversary

365 days and 261 posts ago, Learn Fun Facts was born. That makes today New Year and the First Blogiversary of Learn Fun Facts!

It’s surprising to think that one year has passed since I began blogging. When I published my first post on January 1, 2017, I didn’t have any concrete goal for my blog. At first, I only created this blog to archive all the curious facts that I’ve read. I am an avid reader and I like to research about odd topics from little-known sources. So, I thought that it made sense to keep a record of those curiosities.

Yes, I maintain journals and digital records of my notes, but they are just that — notes. Thus, I wanted to turn my notes into a more coherent and organized form. I know that it can be done without using a blog but I like the conveniences of hyperlinks and WordPress categories/tags.

Then I decided to make this blog public to share some of the curious stuff I came by. I just didn’t expect for my blog to grow quickly! My blog was even included in Feedspot’s Top 30 Fact Blogs.

Anyway, I had to stop blogging for four months in March due to personal issues. So, I’m grateful to you, my readers, for your continued support when I returned in July.

As this post is also a Year in Review, I’ll start now before I go off on a tangent.

Stats

In 2017, Learn Fun Facts received 81,800 page views and 32,000 unique visitors. The blog got a total of 3,800 comments.

Looking Ahead

For this year, I hope to improve the quality of my future posts further. I know that it won’t be easy but by utilizing all the things that I have learned last year and through your feedback and suggestions, I’m confident that I will be able to do it!

I am planning to make a new series for this blog entitled “Learn Fun Facts’ Miscellany” which will be published once a month.

The Learn Fun Facts’ Blog Party that I did last November was well-received. So, I decided to make it a monthly event. It will be posted towards the end of each month.

Furthermore, Learn Fun Facts now accepts guest contributors. If you are interested, read the Submission Guidelines to learn more.

I want to write a more detailed Year in Review, but unfortunately, I got sick today. My annoying headache prevents me from thinking what to write.

Congratulations! I enjoy your posts and I am one of those almost 4,000 Canadian readers. We only have 35M people in Canada ( much less then the US at 350M) so having 4,000 Canadians turn up to your blog is excellent.
